The JAX-WS team is pleased to announce general availability of JAX-WS 2.1 RI. We have put tremendous effort in bringing this where it is! Besides cool features and JAX-WS 2.1 API, two main architectural changes that went in to this release - Performance and Extensibility.
JAX-WS 2.1 RI is built on Java standards such as JAX-WS -2.1 (JSR 224), JAXB 2.1 (JSR 222), SAAJ, StAX and whole bunch of related Java standards. Not only that, the Web Services standards and profiles compliance is at the core - from tools to the complete runtime system.
The important thing about JAX-WS 2.1 RI is that it is a complete re-architecture and re-write of JAX-WS 2.0. We did it for two main reasons - to make it high performing and extensible! See the reason we did it and also our 2.0.1 M1 release with these architectural changes and merge of 2.0.1 into 2.1.
JAX-WS 2.1 RI brings in new productivity features and also extension APIs for the middleware developers to enhance JAX-WS 2.1 with their custom extensions, such as WSIT, Open JBI component, and Glassfish v2.
